Increasing invalid to modified protocol occurrences in a computing system

A system on a chip (SoC), comprising:

• a first memory to store data in a memory line, wherein the memory line is set to an invalid state;
• and
• a processor coupled to the first memory, wherein the processing is operable to:
• determine that a data size of a first data set received from an application is within a data size range;
• determine that an aggregate data size of the first data set and a second data set received from the application is at least a same data size as data size of the memory line;
• perform an invalid-to-modify (I2M) operation to change the memory line from the invalid state to a modified state;
• and
• write the first data set and the second data set to the memory line.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first request from an application to write a first data set to a first cache, wherein the memory line is set to an invalid state;
• determining, by a processor, that a data size of the first data set is with a data size range;
• setting, by the processor, a counter for a predefined amount of time;
• determining, by the processor, that the predefined amount of time has expired;
• and
• in response to the predefined amount of time expiring, performing, by the processor, a request for ownership (RFO) operation, the RFO operation comprising:
• a read operation to retrieve a second data set from a main memory, a location of the second data set in the main memory corresponding to a location of the first data set in the first cache;
• a write operation to write the data in the first data set to the memory line;
• and
• an invalidate operation to write the data in the memory line to a second cache or the main memory.
